It makes a difference

NOLA Brewing & Pizza Co was founded as NOLA Brewery in 2008.   We are truly the OG of the craft beer scene here in New Orleans having paved the way for the entire craft brewery community in New Orleans.  Our flagship beers; NOLA Blonde, Hopitoulas, Irish Channel Stout, 7th St Wheat, and Tangerine Squeeze have been satisfying the taste buds of craft cravers for years.   Additionally, we are the only brewery in all of Louisiana with a true sour beer program with our Funk Series of sour beers aged for years in wood barrels right here in our Brewery Taproom.     In terms of beer line-up, we have a total of 41 tap handles located around our brewery and you'll be hard to find a more complete line-up of beer styles anywhere else in the entire city.   In late 2023, we added wine and spirits to our lineup of offerings.   We now offer a full-bar with cocktails, select and premium spirits, and fantastic lineup of wines that compliment our pizzas and food. 

In 2020, during the pandemic we embarked on an equally ambitious endeavor we called the NOLA Pizza Project!  Our owner is a Tulane graduate who grew up outside New York City and moved down here over 13 years ago.   He missed the tried and true, thin crust style of New York City pizza and couldn't find the same quality and taste anywhere in New Orleans (or at least not in a convenient location).    Knowing that water is the key to what makes NYC-style pizza great, and as brewers who know a thing or two about the importance of water to taste, we reverse engineered the water from three NYC boroughs in our labs and came up with our homegrown system for making NYC water.    Then taking it even a step further, we applied the same craft approach to our pizza that we do to our beer.   Like beer, making dough requires a fermentation process that takes both care and careful oversight.    Our pizza dough begins with an organic sourdough starter,  a unique blend of artisanal flours, and our specially crafted NYC water.    It then cold ferments for 48 hours and produces a cracker crust pie like no other in town!    If you want NYC-style pizza being produced at its highest level here in New Orleans, come in and try our traditional 18 inch round pies or one of our Grandma style square pies.   We fire them up in our Baker's Pride ovens the way all great NYC slice shops do it.  Yup, that's right, we sell slices.  Whether your in the mood for a whole pie or just a bite, we got you covered.  For those of you who can't eat pizza without Buffalo Wings...we took care of that too!   Made just like they do in Upstate NY, our wings are made the same way, a truly traditional and authentic Buffalo Style wing!    We'd be remiss if we didn't mention our classic hero sandwiches as well, we got chicken, eggplant, and meatball parmesan heros and delicious salads too!

Except for our expressly sourced pepperoni, everything we make here in our kitchen is from scratch, whether it's our pizza sauce or our salad dressings, it's always fresh and tastes great.

At NOLA Brewing & Pizza Co. we know a good time in New Orleans must be accompanied by great music.  Each weekend we lineup some of the best talent in the City to play for you.  Most of our live music events are completely free and when their not its usually one of the lowest cost tickets in town.  So come on out and enjoy good times and great food at NOLA Brewing & Pizza Co.
